I did not receive a notice from Norcold about the recall but a friend lost his 42 footer to fire. Subsequently I started checking only to find that my 1200 LRIM was now included in their mass recall. I called a local repair man here in Tucson and was told I'd have to wait 3 weeks to get the part but they would install it when the part came in. That was early in December and Christmas Eve my unit failed.
I was lucky not to have had a fire myself. Today I had a rebuilt cooling unit installed and saw how hot it had become. I did gamble after Norcold informed me to shut it down and unplug it because I had medications inside that required refrigeration. Made no difference to the company that I needed cooling and I figured after 6 years, what could a couple more days make.
I found out.
If anybody decides to start a class action against that company for using inferior materials in this units, I would like to throw my name into the ring. The rebuilt units has three time the thickness in the lining of the boilers on these models and I'm sure that Norcold knew about the thinness of their walls
If you are contemplating a new rig, don't buy one with a Norcold 1200 refrigerator.
